Derby County

A buyout of the Rams by American investor Chris Kirchner was believed to be close to completion, but Bristol Rovers' League One rivals have been struck by fresh ...

Rooney has admitted his future in charge at the club is dependent on a prompt sale. Derby posted multi-million-pound profits in 2019, but only after selling Pride Park to then-owner Mel Morris for £80million. Meetings between the parties to resolve the issue are yet to yield success. Kirchner was named as the preferred bidder to buy the club by administrators Quantuma in April and the deal was given conditional approval by the EFL last month, but it appears to be in serious doubt two months later.

Chris Kirchner is the man in line to takeover Derby County. The EFL gave him conditional approval to buy the club last month and a May 31st deadline was set.

He has money and he’s proven that, to the relevant footballing bodies most importantly, in the recent past. Derby County’s administration process has been one of the ugliest in English football’s history. End of May was chosen because of scheduling for EFL (released in a few weeks) and everyone collectively didn’t think about the 3 combined bank holidays this week.

League One football club Derby County's proposed takeover by US businessman Chris Kirchner is on the brink of collapse, according to a report by BBC Sport.

Under the club’s current restrictions while in administration, it is unable to sign players. End of May was chosen because of scheduling for EFL (released in a few weeks) and everyone collectively didn’t think about the 3 combined bank holidays this week”. The Rams has been in administration since 22nd September following months of financial struggles.

Your leadership will be necessary and your future within the club or elsewhere is assured.

The 34-year-old first tried to buy Derby last year, but then moved on to purchasing Preston North End from the Hemmings family. He also sat down for an interview with Derby's in-house media back in May. Reports on Wednesday morning claim that the American businessman has failed to purchase the Rams, with promised funds not arriving.

Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan "can't quite understand" why there is such difficulty with Chris Kirchner making bank transfers after claiming that ...

It's certainly not difficult to be able to pick up the phone to your bank manager to do it for you. "Bank holidays permitting, as I understand he's putting out into the public domain, and banking coordinates and so and so and so forth, but it's not difficult to buy something. "I'm understanding that it's to do with the logistics of bank transfers.

Former Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is still interested in saving Derby County from administration, according to the Daily Mail's Craig Hope.

Ashley was said to have been in talks with the administrators back in December, but whilst a deal couldn’t be reached, his team have always expressed an interest in the Rams, and he could return to the party should Kirchner’s deal not go through. Despite Kirchner telling TalkSPORT that he is still attempting to complete the takeover, Ashley is waiting in the wings if things falter. However, funds have yet to be seen in that respect, with the extended bank holiday weekend being blamed last week and that the money Kirchner promised to pay the May wages did not arrive.

Chris Kirchner backed away from a Preston deal and it now looks like his takeover of Derby County is on the verge of collapse.

Everything seemed to be heading in the right direction. Funds promised by Kirchner to pay Derby’s wages for May haven’t arrived and it now looks like the deal will fall through.

Chris Kirchner has insisted that 'It will all come out soon' following reports that his protracted takeover of Derby County is set to collapse.

Chris Kirchner – who’s takeover of financially stricken Derby County is in doubt – what the latest was with the deal. Despite the 34-year-old telling TalkSPORT that he was still working on the takeover deal, Dan Roan tried to catch up with Kirchner at a golf tournament in Hertfordshire that he was competing in, and his response did not seem too convincing whatsoever. There appeared to be a light at the end of the tunnel a couple of weeks ago, with Kirchner revealing that contracts had been exchanged with Quantuma, with just the loose ends regarding Pride Park to tie up.

Kirchner has been playing in the LIV Golf pro-am series in Hertfordshire with professional golfers Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter. On his way off the course, he ...

Anything?" Kirchner responded with: "It'll come out soon." Kirchner replied: "No comment". "Chris, hello sir," Roan said.

The transfer window opens in two days and the club has yet to confirm its pre-season plans which cannot happen until Derby exits administration. Kirchner remained tight-lipped when quizzed on the deal yesterday having been in England to play at a golf tournament in Hemel Hempstead. Sources have told DerbyshireLive that attempts are being made to contact Ashley's camp by parties, unconnected to the club, who are eager for him to step in should Kirchner's deal fall through.

Latest Derby County takeover news from DerbyshireLive as Chris Kirchner is reportedly set to lose his exclusivity if delays continue.

Kirchner still hopeful of providing funds but Derby will be back on the market soon if any more delays. According to the Daily Telegraph's John Percy, Kirchner is "still hopeful of providing funds" but may lose his exclusivity as preferred bidder of Derby County if there are further hold-ups. Prospective Derby County owner Chris Kirchner could be set to lose his period of exclusivity if his takeover continues to be delayed, according to a report.

Derby County administrators Quantuma are set to strip Chris Kirchner of his exclusivity to purchase the club following further delays regarding his takeover ...

Kirchner’s words of the deal being done and just facing delays in transferring over the finances look to have bitten him as Quantuma, for all their failings, are set to take action against him. The American businessman, who exchanged contracts with the club’s administrators in mid-May, which hedged on the acquisition of Pride Park stadium, has cited delays of finances being transferred over due to the Memorial Day holiday in the United States, as well as the extended bank holiday in the United Kingdom last week. Derby County administrators Quantuma are set to strip Chris Kirchner of his exclusivity to purchase the club following further delays regarding his takeover bid, according to John Percy of The Telegraph.

The US businessman was named as preferred bidder for Derby, who are managed by former Wayne Rooney, two months ago by administrators, but has still to ...

Only last week Kirchner sought to reassure fans on his Twitter account that there was 'Nothing to be alarmed about'. Neither Kirchner's team nor representatives of Quantuma were available for comment. Kirchner was expected to finalise the takeover of Derby on May 31 but that date came and went.

Over the course of Derby County's 2021/22 season, RamsTV has been going behind-the-scenes to document the campaign as it has unfolded.

Latest Derby County headlines from DerbyshireLive as we bring you a round-up of the latest takeover developments.

Kirchner replied: "No comment". Sources have told DerbyshireLive that attempts are being made to contact Ashley's camp by parties, unconnected to the club, who are eager for him to step in should Kirchner's deal fall through. "Chris, hello sir," Roan said.

Derby County fans have sat patiently waiting for a takeover to be formally announced, but fresh uncertainty means they may have to wait a little longer.

The new League One season is scheduled to begin at the end of July. Now, Percy tweets that Quantuma are ready to act. Just because administrators Quantuma are – according to Percy – ‘set to remove’ the exclusivity granted to Chris Kirchner, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s out of the running.

Different parties that are unconnected to Derby County are now attempting to contact Mike Ashley and his team regarding a potential takeover deal after ...

Communication will be key though – because if the administrators can fully explain their reasons to Kirchner for potentially allowing Ashley to make his own bid for the club – that could keep the US businessman reasonably happy and that can only help to maximise the chances of his takeover deal going through. That move may make Kirchner unhappy – but the club has to come before anyone else and this is the reason why Ashley should be given the opportunity to make his own approach – because that could help to save the club. Having Ashley as a security blanket would be ideal and this is why it may be wise to remove the period of exclusivity so the club’s administrators can keep their options open.

The exclusivity agreement remains as does the hope of Derby County fans, now is the time for Chris Kirchner to deliver.

But I believe the money is in place, I believe the funding is complex, and I believe a lot more will make sense if and when a deal is announced. I am not putting my head above the parapet to say it will happen, and that is certainly not the official view of the Derby Telegraph and DerbyshireLive, but from discussions and information I've been party to, I know that the intent is there. This is not to say any of those things couldn't still happen, but I trust the intentions of Kirchner, and I believe he is desperate to push through the deal to buy Derby County. I tweeted last night that I expect the deal to progress, despite the widespread rumours of the deal collapsing, exclusivity set to end, and Mike Ashley ready to pounce. Creditors need to be paid, and the administrators have a duty to make that happen and take the club out of administration. Here's a look at the current situation and in particular that day of madness on Wednesday.

Suffering relegation to League One, Derby County will be striving for an immediate return to the Championship. With a lot of uncertainty regarding player…

Spending a successful loan stint with Cheltenham Town last season, a move to Derby could be the final stage of his progression before more regular football with the Hornets. Looking again at a more youthful potential option, Watford’s Mattie Pollock could be a player that the Rams look at this summer. With a lot of uncertainty regarding player situations and the drama associated with the club’s takeover, it is difficult for the Rams to plan too far ahead with next season in mind.

Roan followed up: “Anything you can tell us at all about it, just for the fans who are worried about their club?

And when are the administrators, Quantuma, going to end the current swirl of contradictory media reports by clarifying precisely what is going on over the sale of the club? If Kirchner didn’t pay the wages at the end of May, who did, and if he did, who lied about that and why? Was “it’ll all come out soon” a reference to Alan Nixon on talkSPORT and in The Sun? If the authorities are dealing with this, which authorities are we talking about, and what is the exact position? It’s clear that different parties are leaking different stories to different arms of the media. “Chris Kirchner has, for the last couple of weeks, been trying to transfer the money needed to the administrators to distribute cash.
